Why I love tea

Why I love tea

Green tea, herbal tea, white tea… I must admit, drinking tea was never my “cup of tea” as I used to think that the taste didn’t go well with my sweet tooth. I was more of a coffee addict and sometimes I drank 4 cups of coffee a day just because I enjoyed it. Now that I’m more health-conscious, tea has caught my attention — and now I prefer it.

cool!

Peas be with you!

Peas be with you!

We came home from a working holiday in Manila to find our vegetable garden overgrown with weeds. But amid the tangle of yard-high dandelions, milkweed and wild oats, there was a small island of solace and delight: fresh garden peas!

I had planted these in the fall, my first ever attempt at a winter garden. The seeds sprouted within a week, but took their sweet time growing over the next few months. The first soft white pea flowers didn’t even appear until mid February, way past the 60-75 days promised on the little seed packets. But yes, 5 weeks later and here the three plots I had seeded were bursting with peas–slender snow peas, thick sugar snap peas (stringless!) and peas with thick, stringy pods that would have to be shucked–but what tender sweet little round peas they held inside!

Keeping Your Cool

Summer time is beckoning and as much as people look forward to the sun and the outdoors, the heat could wreak havoc on our food, and then our moods. Keep your kitchen cool with these tips.

Tip # 1 Ice Ice (Water) Baby

One of the most important things in the summer is to keep everything cold. During picnics, trips to the beach or outdoor barbecues, keep your uncooked meats, salads and drinks cold by placing them in ice with a little bit of water. The water will help spread the “coldness” of the ice throughout the entire ice box, making things colder faster, as opposed to just ice. It’s a good tip to remember also when chilling wine and champagne.

Fresh, Dried, Canned or Frozen

Everyone knows that with food, fresh is almost always better. That’s in an ideal world, though, where every woman has Nigella’s or Giada’s time and Ina’s resources, or every guy has Emeril’s boundless energy and Bobby’s unseen assistants. In the real world, where everyone (well, almost everyone) works for a living and/or takes care of other people, some shortcuts may be taken. Which ones won’t compromise your food too much?
